TV cable routing

[gseefield]

I need to find a way to route a tv cable from the inside of the bedroom in our 2004 Dolphin to the ladder on the rear of the coach. I have a large lcd tv located on the dresser in front of the bed and I want to put the antenna on the outside. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Geaux Saints

gseefield...Do you already have an antenna on the roof of the coach? Can you just add a switch box to that and dun calbe to the front?

If this is not an option..can you then tell us how the bedroom is laid out? That may help with anyone who may answer...

I use the flat coax, CW has them, and Amazon for a little less:

Amazon.com: flat coaxial

It can be left in place thru a window, door or vent. Many run "Solar" lines down behind the refrig or in the sewer vents.

Good luck

We have a molding in our 99 Tradewinds that I was able to route a groove in to run speaker wires to the cabinets over the headboard. I don't know what your bedroom looks like but the molding National used in ours was solid Walnut and the groove didn’t compromise it at all.

I've run several wires in the ceiling insulation from front to back. NRV ceiling insulation is made of formed blocks of foam that contain channels and pockets that provide both insulation and serve as wire chases. Removal of the ceiling light fixtures gives you access to these chases. Some already have wiring in them and possibly room for more. I used a common Home Depot electrical snake to fish wire from one light fixture opening to the next. If you choose to use the chase that acts as an ac air duct, that would also work. If your model has basement ac's, then the duct should run all the way to the rear cap.

Sounds like you have a Dolphin 5342. There is an antenna hookup in the rear cabinet that is for the rear tv. If you need to run a seperate cable there is a large space between the rear wall of the bedroom and the rear cap. This is where the A/C duct runs. You can see the space by looking under the MH between the rear cap and the hitch. You could run the wire from the counter across from the bed through the cabinet and then through the rear bedroom wall into the open space and then through the rear cap to the ladder. I hope that helps.
